As we all know, the great outdoors is a tough testing ground for outdoor kit – and not every piece of apparel makes the grade. But the Takibi vest is built to handle plenty of punishment, especially when campfires are involved. ‘Takibi’ means bonfire in Japanese, so takibi time is simply the act of gathering around a campfire, an elemental outdoor experience. And that’s exactly why the cult Japanese brand have devised a capsule collection of clothing designed specifically for special campfire moments. This vest is made from Teijin Conex Neo fabric, sourced from Japanese textile mills in Snow Peak’s home city of Niigata. This is a blend of organic cotton and aramid fibres – the same stuff used in firefighting suits and bulletproof vests.

It also features large hidden chest pockets, dual front patch pockets with hook and loop fastener back pouches for carrying wood, and a left chest loop
